Solar energy for self-consumption for a social association

Description

This campaign aims to finance a photovoltaic plant for Legado do Caixeiro Alentejano, a nonprofit mutual association that has supported its members and the wider community for nearly a century.

Legado do Caixeiro Alentejano is a non-profit Mutual Association founded on October 15, 1926. The Mutual Association provides support to its members, beyond mutualist services, through a social sector with various facilities such as Kindergarten, Day Centre, Home Care, and Nursing Home.

The contract signed between Solcor Portugal and the association includes the installation of a 74,9 kWp solar photovoltaic system for self-consumption, composed of 128 panels (585W each), two inverters, and a support structure. It will enable the production of over 110 MWh of clean energy per year. 

One third of Legado do Caixeiro Alentejano’s energy consumption will come directly from the photovoltaic plant, resulting in a 44% reduction in electricity costs.

The installation and operation of the facilities will be installed and operated by the campaign promotor: Solcor Portugal, a company specializing in the development and operation of solar photovoltaic installations. 

The Impact

Direct 

Contribution to the decarbonisation of Portugal, avoiding CO2 emissions: With a total production of clean energy of over 110 MWh per year, the solar plant will avoid the emission of about 4,85 tonnes of CO2 per year. This is equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 220 trees.

Cost reduction for the end customer: decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the place of consumption, helps to avoid distribution costs, this being the most competitive option. In addition, the company's lower dependence on the national grid makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and tax charges.

Indirect

Promoting sustainable business: the project developed for Legado Do Caixeiro Alentejano - Associação Mutualista, is an example of the applicability of solar power for any business, and in this case serves as a benchmark to similar industries, an important step towards sustainability for businesses in Portugal.

Financial viability

The project will lead to a significant reduction in Legado do Caixeiro Alentejano’s energy costs. It is hoped that the revenue generated by the contract signed between the promoter and the association will fully support the repayment of the funding from Goparity's investors.
